any given search.

WorldShare Platform.

Discover Items
Lenders in lender string are no longer selectable on holdings list When a lender is entered in the lender string, the hyperlink in the Supplier column is no longer
clickable. Likewise, if a lender is removed from the lender string the ability to click on Yes in the
Supplier column is restored. Additionally, this selection status is retained if users navigate between All
Holdings, State Holdings and Regional Holdings. This enhancement makes it easier for users to see
which lenders are already in the lender string.
Workflow improvements
Improved mapping of bibliographic fields for article and book chapter requests initiated in WorldCat Discovery Staff View When staffs submit requests into WorldShare ILL for article and book chapters from non-WorldCat
records in WorldCat Discovery, the bibliographic data in the record mapping has been improved to
correctly map the following fields:
Journal Title
Article Title
Article Author
Volume
Issue/No
Pages

The complete details appear in the Verification field, including the database of origin and full date
information. We continue to work to improve the logic to place the data in the correct fields.

Deflection improved to include future dates The deflection logic used to designate deflection by publication date has been modified to include future
years. This means that a deflection policy set to deflect requests with a publication date less than 1
year old will also deflect requests with a future publication date (e.g. 2015 records that are already in
WorldCat).

been added to the email template. Below are the fields that are now included:

Bug fixes
Issue with slowness of system and “non-responsive script” error message has been fixed.
One- and two-per-page printouts now have the correct service type. Previously the service type
for copies printed as a loan.
When requests were created with a format of DVD they were being mapped to the broader:
Visual Material after the request was sent. They are now properly mapped to DVD video. This
fix was also made for other subsets of materials that were mapping to the broader categories.
E.g. Sound recording on CD was mapping to the more generic Sound Recording.
Misalignment of labels on the 24-per page labels for A4 printing has been fixed.
When users select a Custom Holdings Path or Profiled Group and view holdings and then
change their Custom Holdings Path or Profiled Group users now see the name of the newly
selected path or group displayed after hitting 'Go'.
A fix was made to Reasons for No in the History tab of a request. The Reason for No, no longer
displays as RFN-Closed. It displays the appropriate Reason for No.
Closed requests no longer have a button to de-ISO the request.

Known Issues
A list of known issues can be found at: http://www.oclc.org/support/services/worldshare-ill/known-
issues.en.html.
This release introduced a problem where if you search for a request and try to use the magnifying
glasses to search by title, author, ISBN, ISSN or request ID the search does not launch. They way to
work around this problem is to navigate to your requests using the request queues on the left side of
the screen. We are working to get this problem fixed as soon as possible.
